Two .speeches in Elmira.
Mr. Roosevelt closed his first day's
part In the N*-w York campaign by ad
dressing two rousing meetings here to
nif*t. one in th« Lyceum Theatre and
the other in th*> Orpheum. At the
Lyreum. which holds about twenty five
hundred persons raid was packed almost
to suffocation, he «as introduced in %
peculiarly happy speech. Mr. Fassett
cordially indorsed Mr. Roosevelt and
the new nationalism, saying the ex-
Vresldent was a good old-fashioned con
pervative. one who believes in evolution
instead of revolution. Calling attention
to the fact that the stage was flanked
by large pictures of Lincoln, McKinley.
Taft ar.d Roosevelt, he referred to the
charges that Lincoln was a revolution
ist nnd the demands of business men
that the war be envied because It was
hurting business. At one point he said:
"Our Democrat ; - friends say, 'You lov
erp of Taft must smash Bocasevelt so
that you can elect Taft in 1912/ as it the
way to victory w.ms to surrender the
canal contracts, the utilities commis
sions and all the patronage to the Demo
crats. That anrument can have only
one basis, and that is two years* experi
ence, in which the Democrats would so
disgust the American people as to in
pure a victory for the Republicans two
year* hence, erhsips that Is true, but
I believe The way to win Is to win and
win row."
Mr. Roosevelt began his ppeecti by an
appeal "on higher ground than partisan
ship and In the name of honor and In
the fair name of the Empire State." Ho
described the Saratoga convention in a.
manner which delighted, and its candi
date in terms which aroused his hear
ers. He described the Democratic con
vention at Rochester and repeated his
Elopan, "You are wanted in Room 212!
arousing the heartiest applause.
Speaking of Mr. Dix, he said: "I will
cheerfully acquit Mr. Dix of the charge
Of being an agent or destruction of any
thing frolng wrong."
High Tribute to Stimson.
He dwelt with much emphasis on the
alliance between Tammany Hall and
•Wall Street. He declared Wall Street
wanted the governor and tHey wanted
the Legislature because they need them
In their business. "They are business
men and they know Just what they
want." he said. "We ought to know
enough not to let them get either." He
assured his hearers that Stimson was
euch I man that no power on earth could
stop him from becoming an agent of de
struction to anything or anybody that
was going rone;.
"What man on earth can speak of
Wall Street and Tammany Hall and
rugged honesty in the. same breath with
out laughing?" declared Mr. Roosevelt
with vehemence, and he added that there
is no man who dares to stand up and
say "that 'Harry* Stimson is not the
embodiment of rugged honesty."
"Wall Street is for Tammany Hall be
cause it knows where its interest lies,
.-inrl it is against us l*x-ause we are
against special privilege." said Mr.
Uoowvelt. He declared that the Re
publican campaign would have to! be
carried on without much money, whereas
Tammany Ball would have a plethoric
fund In closing he declared that there
had never been a more open alliance be
tween ■ rooked business and crooked pol
itics than that of this year, and that if
the people of New York yielded to that
combination it would besmirch the hon
esty and the fair name of the state.
Begins Campaign at Dunkirk.
The Roosevelt train reached Dunkirk
et 11 n. m.. and the ex-President was
taken Immediately to the square, where
he ad<lress<"d a crowd of perhaps eighteen
hundred people, but composed largely of
women and children. The Baldwin
Locomotive Works had cioc e d at noon
to permit Its employes to attend the
meeting, but for some unexplained rea
son few of thorn me. It Is* said that
the Roosevelt meeting of the day had
been advertised as king place at
Jamestown, and that many had gone
'.here from Dunkirk. Dunkirk, which
■w.-.F formerly a Democratic city, is now
Republican, and the Mayor. Harry
James, was on the Mand. but Mr Roose
velt tt« introduced by Leslie A. Pease,
the district referee in bankruptcy cases.
From Dunkirk a rapid automobile trip
wp.s made to Fredonia. where Mr. Roose
velt addressed a large . r, .wd in front of
Bhf posnadaoe. He received an enthuFi
«Mic welcome; and his remarks were
pr**-t*-«i with applause. As he passed
the high school in Fredonia the. children
wr*- drawn up outsld« and provided
with fla;rs. which they waved frantically.
3»lr. Roosevelt )-i«-d his automobile
and ♦'xpresFed his gratification at the
jrrteting.
Taking th«» train at Dunkirk ngain, a
quick ran was made to Falconer, with a
brief Mop at <»ary. where Mr. Roose
velt warned the people gathered about
th- rear platform against the evils that
would result if they cniwned the break-
Ing up of the Republican machine at
Saratoga by putting in power the cor
rupt machine of "Boss" Murphy, with
its W.'-II Street ally.
F'dm F.il<~oner. where no speech was
made, although the people had turned
out in large nuinbr-rs. Mr. Roosevelt and
his party proceeded by automobile to
Jamestown, where more than ten thou

rousing welcome nnd listened to hi-- re
marks with the closest attention, show-

The next stop was made at Salamanca,

Strong Appeal far Stimson's Election.
M r. Roosevelt made a vigorous appeal
for i!he election of Mr. Stimson. and sflid
that the Republican party had dared to
MiiaMh Its machine. He hoped the peo
pl«» . if Mvw York State would not make
the . lrplorable blunder of confiding their
inter ests to th«» Tammany machine. He

they replied emphatically "No' " One

mr fj tiend. you are right. It shall be
No. 2.*: on Election Day."
Add re« ing an appreciative audience in
the Baldwin Theatre at Wellsvllle. Mr.
■•■■a re.lt made one of the most effective
preservations of his argument in support
of Mr. Stimson he has yet uttered. He
told his hearers that throughout bis
foreign trip he was deeply Impressed
l.v tie fact that all who cherished the
hope that a truly representative govern
ment might achieve great success hid
their eyes turned to America, but that
their hopes were not unmixed with ap
prehrtnsion because of the reports that
readied them regarding the corruption
in American business and American pol
itics. He said there w<*re also those who
learned with sinister pleasure of each
new revelation of graft and dishonor.
He diecLared that the one name ! .\hlch
throughout Europe was synonymous with
political corruption was Tammany Hall.
the one name that was synonymous with
graft and business dishonor was Wall
Street, and th/nse wr;re the forces against
which the Republican party was light
ing the great fight in this campaign, e.s
they well kn*>w.
He described the Saratoga convention,
and insisted that it was an open «<n<-.
He said that in every fight which he led
-and he led three distinct fights- -he won
Borne. men ajid lost others. He secured
Irom the convention all he could, and he
well knew that he could secure no more
thanheg-ot. In connection with this he
indorsed Assemblyman Jesse L,. Phillips,
saying rJwt there were many honest dif
ferences of opinion in the Saratoga con
vention, that he himself had favored the
direct primaries plank as it was finally
adopted, but that "« very man who has
accepted that plank is just as much en
titlrd to your etupport as if he had been
for it from the first. It is folly to specu
late on the past and to ask the time, the
day and the hour when any man first
saw--»he light."
The Boss in Room 212.
Mr. Roosevelt then described the
Rochester convention, telling of the ab
solute domination of Mr. Murphy, the
boss of Tammany Hall. He explained
Murphy'f Simmons to Room I'll', and
asserted that while the Saratoga con
vention was <5 open a convention as he
had known in all his political experi
ence, the Rochester gathering was de-
Foriln-d. even by the "Wall Street news
paper?." as the most completely boss
ridden convention this state had ever
known.
"We are assured by those papers," he
said, "that there were sixteen candi
dates for the governorship before that
convention If so, where were they 0
Not before the convention, my friends,
but before Ross Murphy, in Room L'l2.
Th" name of only one. that of Repre
sentative Sulrer. was presented to the
convention, and he got just sixteen
■votes."
•y..u may recollect." said Mr. Roose
velt, "that a Bomber of years ago the
Sugar Trust testified that it had con
tributor] to th<- campaign funds of both
th<-- political parties. Well, I appointed
a man ;is TMstrict Attorney, and he be
gaa ■ proaec-tfon of the Sugar Trust.
H~ has compelled that trust to pay back
to the government far more than it has
in all time contributed to the campaign
funds to any. or indeed all. of the politi
cal parties. That man was Harry Stim
son." «Applause.»
Mr. Roosevelt went on to say that he
cou«d not 1. ye prevented Mr. Stimson
from prosecuting the. trust if he had
wanted to. Of course, he did not want
to. but that was the type of man Harry
Stimson was. Once he had been set in
motion he could not be controlled. He
must do the right as he saw it, and he
did it fearlessly and courageously.
"If my career, if my life means any
thing." Mr Roosevelt said, "it means that
] never say on the stump anything I do
not say in private, that I never say any
thing I don't believe and that I don't
mak» a promise nnlesp I try to keep it.
So 7 ask you to take my words at their
face value when I speak to you."
Before reaching Blmtra stops were
made at HornelJ and Corning. Mr Roose
velt being greeted by large crowds in
both places.
Leaving Elmira late to-night. Mr.
Roosevelt is due back In New York early
to-morrow morning. After meeting some

and outlining his campaign trip through
the state he is to go to Oyster Bay for

LOEB ON BUEN CASE
Continued from flr-l pa**.
busings yesterday, but was without cus
tomers. Benjamin Duveen was in
charge after he came back from the
Federal Building, where h<> went to have
the security for hfs .«."VO.OOO bail changed
from the real estate put up on Thurs
day to the bond of a surety company.
"We are open." he said, "but we are
not doing any business. T don't suppose
we will do any business for a few days,
but then everything will be cleared up
and this whole affair saUsfactori-y ex
plained.
"Yes," he said, in answer to a ques
tion. "I suppose we are at liberty to pell
anything we want to, but I don't know.
There are no customers, anyway."
Acting Deputy Surveyor Edward Nor
wood, who led the raid on the store on
Thursday, was in charge of the build
ing yesterday, and wandered in and out
of the rooms with his men at his heels.
Corbitt & Stern, attorneys for the
Duveens. said they could make no state
ment about the case yet. as they had not
had a copy of the complaint and did not
know what the chart* 1 was.
No Market Price, Say Lawyers.
"Rut as far as und^rvaulation is con
cerned." they said, "there is no market
price for art objects. The only market
price is the price for which they
arc sold. If Duveen Brothers pakl
$1,100 for those three, vases, that was the
market price at that time. If they sold
them for $28,000, that was the market
price at that time."
Collector I-oeh said that thr art dealers
were at liberty to sell anything they hac!
except what was under government seal,
but when it came to the question of
the market price of art objects he dis
agreed with Corbitt & Stern.
"We believe," h<> said, "that the books
of the firm will show that the invoice
that valued those vases at $I,l<lO was a
false invoice, "We believe that the books
win show that Duveen Brothers paid a
much higher price than ?],IOO for those
vases.
"But. at any rate, the price paid is
not essential. It is only a guide for the
appraisers. Duveen Brothers might by
peculiar circumstances be able to buy
articles at less than their market value
and the law provides that the duty shall
be assessed on the market value and
that the importer shall declare his im
portations at their market value."
Criminal and Civil Actions.
Solicitor Andrews said yesterday that
three actions would be brought against
Duveen Brothers, one a criminal pro
ceeding alleging a conspiracy to defraud
the government and two civil actions.
One of the civil actions would be for the
forefeiture of goods s for undervaluation
i.nd the other would be to recover duties
and penalties on such things as had gone
cut of their possession and might be
found to be undervalued, according to
the entries.
The statute of limitations applies to
undervaluation, the solicitor said, and
forfeiture of goods can be had for only
three years preceding the beginning of
the action. But the collection of duties
is unlimited and prosecution may be
started to cover any number of years.
The government now has the Duveen
Brothers' books for six or seven years,
but hopes to make the investigation
cover the whole thirty years the firm
has been in business here.
James Jarman, secretary of Duveen
Brothers, was a witness before the srand
jury yesterday afternoon, and was after
ward placed under arrest on the same
warrant as was used for the Duveens,
but on the application of Assistant
United States Attorney Wemple was dis
charged by Commissioner Shields for
lack of evidence.
It is understood that the person who
grave the information that led to the
arrest of the Duveens is in a fair way to
collect a large reward from the govern
ment. The government's evidence is un
derstood to be documentary and to have
come very direct.
"It may be that our informant will re
ceive the reward given by the govern
ment to persons who furnish informa
tion leading to the conviction of per
sons who defraud the government," said
Air. Loeb yesterday.
The amount of the reward is left to the
judgment of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, but it may amount to 50 per cent
of the fines imposed after conviction.
Richard Parr pot $100,000 for the dis
covery of the sugar frauds.

BROOKLYN GREETS STIMSON
Fills Academy of Music to Capac
ity to Hear Him.
Henry L. Stimson carried with him an
audience that filled the Academy of Music,
in Brooklyn, last night, when he drove
home one after another telling arguments
against the Issues pet forth in the speech
of acceptance of John A Dlx, his opponent.
"I'm goitjpr to ask all over this utatp."
said Mr. Stimson. "what stand does Mr.
Dlx take on the Public Service commissions
law. He stood on a platform two years ago,
as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
which called practically for the repeal of
that law. which I regard as one of the
preat. achievements of the Hughes admin
istration "
Mr. Stlmsnn's speech in Brooklyn closely
followed the one he made In Manhattan.
He attacked Senator CJrady and showed up
the stand Mr. Dlx had taken on the tariff.
Mr. J'ix, li" said, was a director, and Win
•). ].i A tiuppuch, the Democratic state
chairman, was vice-president of the Stand
ard Wall Paper Company, when that com
pany's representative appeared before the
Whys and Means Committee of the House
of Representatives asking not a reduction
hut an Increase in the tariff on wallpaper.
"How much faith can you have In a man
who condemns the tariff, when his own
feet are still muddy Croon wallowing In the
trough?" a«kr<l Mr. Stimson.
The big audience took tills Hat challenge
i.. Mr. Dlx with unconcealed delight. When
the speaker went on to attack the sincerity
of the Democratic candidate on Ms pledges
of economy and pointed out that It was a
case <>( comparing the. alleged extravagance
.•! Hughe* with the economy of Charles K.
Murphy, the enthusiastic applause con
tinued, and when In his closing words Mr
Stimson referred to Theodore Roosevelt, the
mention of the former President 1 name
brought forth a renewal of the cheering.
In tact. It was noticeable that every men
tion of Theodore Roosevelt's name was
greeted with prolonged applause.
Walter N. Chandler and William 11.

STIMSON ASSAILS DIX
Confine from first pa**.
of former Governor Hughes. He went
on as follows:

Yet? two years ago Mr. Dlx called f^for

people of the state have aj right to ' Know,
They will not gain any information from

What does this mean? Reasonable, for
Instance, in the eyes of Judge Parker ana
Mr. Sheehan's clients, or reasonable from
the point of view of tho state? Is the
present regulation unreasonable, ana, ir
so. in what respect is it to be changed.
Has the New York City public com
plained of the disclosure which the Pub
lic Service Commission has made of Met
ropolitan Street Railway finance? Have
the upstate shippers complained of th«
regulations which the upstate commission
has enforced In their favor? We have a
right to know. It is one of the vital
questions in the issue of progress against
reaction.
At this point Air. Stimson took up the
speech made by Mr. Dix in accepting
his nomination, and proceeded to com
pare the latter's profeAions with his
practice. Referring to his opponent's
promise to "turn the searchlight on and
drive the 'black horse cavalry" out of
busings." Mr. Stimson called attention
to the renomination of Senator Grady,
the leader of his party at Albany.
Departing from this topic with a refer
ence to Grady's defence of Allds, Mr.
Stimson switched to the professions of
Mr. Dix regarding the tariff, and con
tinued:
Again. Mr. Dixs speech contained an elo
quent paragraph on the tariff. Now the
tariff is not a state issue, and I should be
willing to concede that Mr. Dtx. as Gov
ernor, would have no occasion to put his
professions into practice: but. having mane
them, the people of the Ptate have a right
to judge him by their sincerity. He says,
with great emphasis: m _.
"I believe that, in order to do away with
the high cost of living from which all or
the people of the country now greatly suf
fer, the governing power must be in the
hands of the Democratic party, that we
may have an honest, downward revision or
the present Iniquitous tariff. Such a re
vision will restore a situation where the
average man will be able to save some
thing from his income after he has paid lor
the bare necessities of life."
Shows True Attitude of Dix.
How long ha.=» Mr. Dlx held these virtu
ous sentiments? As his friends are fond
of telling us, he is a business man. a paper
manufacturer in Washington County. He
Is the president of the Iroquois Pulp and
Paper Company and a director in the
Standard Wall Paper Company, both of
them situated in Washington County. His
friend and business partner, W. A. Hup
puch. is the vice-president of both these
companies. Mr. Huppuch. on Mr. Dix
resignation, became the chairman of the
Democratic State Committee.
Now in November, IMS. when the revision
of* the tariff was under consideration by the
Ways and Means Committee of the House
of Representatives, this Standard Wall
Paper Company took a position on the
question of tariff reduction which the peo
ple of the state are likely to be interest-
There was an existing tariff of 25 per
cent ad valorem on wall paper— its product.
The Ways and Means Committee, as our
Democratic friends now insist, was under
pledge to revise this tariff downward on
the demand of the- American people. They
were having hearings for the purpose in
Washington. Did Mr. Dix or Mr. Huppuch
then insist that they should lower this
duty? No; their company, the Standard
Wall Paper Company, wrote a letter on
November 11. 1908. to the chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee asking that
this' duty on wall paper should be raised,
and they joined in a concerted effort of the
wall paper manufacturers to have the duty
of 25 per cent raised to a minimum of 35
percent and a maximum of 45 per cent.
The company's letter is signed by Mr. Hup
puch himself. The letter is to be. found on
page 6.253. Volume VI. Tariff Hearings by
the Committee on Ways and Means of the
60th Congress.
Mr. Btimson dismissed the tariff as a
state issue by saying that he was heart
ily in favor of President Taft's pl^n for
a board of experts. He then took up the
Question of the extravagance with which
Mr. Dix charged the Republicans and
considered th° substitute- Tammany
extravagance proposed by the Demo
cratic enndidate. He wanted to know
if the names of William Sohmer and
John A. Bensel. strict Tammany men.
were guarantees that in the event of
Democratic success the offices of Con
troller and State Engineer, which have
the most to do with the expenditure of
public funds, would be administered
with economy.
State and City Expenditures.
Comparison shows, said the speaker,
that from IR9R to 1909 state expendi
tures during Republican administration
had increased only 66 per cent, com
pared with an increase of 110 per cent
for the sßine period in Tammany ruled
Xew York City. Carrying the compari
son further. h» said thai It had been the
practice of the state under Governor
Hughes to pay for all permanent addi
tions to its plant out of current income,
while Tammany Hall and the city issued
city stock in payment of current ex
penses.
The furious defence of the courts
made by Mr Dix hardly agreed with the
attitude of the man who nominated him
for Governor, thought Mr. Stimson, in a
denunciation of Murphy's action In
turning down Justice Kdward B. Whit
ney, a Democrat, in favor of a politi
cal henchman. Seeking * reason for
Murphy's treatment of Justice Whitney,
Mr. Btimson asked:
Was Whitney turned down because he
had won for the people of th« city of New
York the benefit of 80-cent gas? Was he
turned down because of his service on the
Kast Side in favor of the tenement house
law or bis service to th«> whole state in
defence, of the. public service law, or was
he turned down because for over a year he
has made an able, upright and Intelligent
Judge?
Have we not a right to Judge of the.
sincerity of our opponents' professions by
these glaring facts? la it not clear where
the interests of the people are when the
issue narrows down to the simple question
of whether we shall place. Tammany Hall

The Republican candidate accused the
Democrats of dodging the state, issues
and seeking to interject the issue, of new
nationalism and the question of the can

tion as follows:
